The hot pot restaurant's jubilant celebration came to an end, and the gathering of students each made their way back to school. Ji You also intended to leave, but the alpaca named Mengmeng, with a sorrowful look, peered at Ji You, almost rooting her to the spot.
The shop owner, holding Mengmeng, said, "Ever since Mengmeng was sent here, she's always been afraid of being alone. It wasn't easy finding a companion, so she really doesn't want to part with you."
Ji You: "..."
Mengmeng: "Baa baa..."
Ji You's heart softened a bit, she bent down to meet Mengmeng's gaze and said, "Mengmeng, look at me!"
Mengmeng: "Baa baa?"
Ji You said, "Mengmeng, your sister here is a student, and every day I have many learning tasks. These are things we humans must do, and they are a part of our sense of mission as human beings. Similarly, you are an alpaca, so you have your own alpaca tasks. Your task is to eat a lot of grass every day, to grow high and big in a happy and joyful way, got it?"
